I also think the the middle....However this is a however I think you are missing something....No matter how much money is being made by Google and Yahoo all of this is being controlled by whether or not they can provide the content to the public....The ISP...If the ISP's have control over what gets delivered content wise then the potential for censorship is higher because they can decide what information is seen by the public.
So I have read some of the information concerning Net Neutrality from Google; SavetheInternet.com Wikipedia and the Open Internet Coalition and I have to say that what this all comes down to is....Money!!! Who would be making the most money out of opposing NN? Simple; the ISP's. Would this lead to a more secure and safe internet? I doubt it entirely. Why? simple really, all someone has to do is pay the fee to the ISP and they can insure that their content is delivered faster...no matter the questionability of the content.
Something else; who would determine what content is more important and thusly determine which content gets delivered faster?
All analogies aside if the ISP gets to determine the content and the QoS based on how much we the consumer pays then there is no guarantee that we would see both sides of a story or that we would be allowed to tell both sides of a story.
I am constantly amazed at how many people do not know their history. As I have said there will be morons who think that the US is always the bad guys.
Well I see that the immigration thing in France is totally forgotten. I also see that the fact that both Germany helped build bunkers for a man who was in direct violation of Human Rights issues and Germany has not taken responsibility. Maybe the Morons out there should look at themselves first.
Now I also strongly suggest that anyone who says that US citizens do not need to be monitored should remember things like....Tim McVeigh (Spelling) The SLA; The Weatherman...Oh wait they were Arabs:)
Oh wait...England never operated as a Police State....Faulkland Islands ring any bells...Guess not!!!!
Now before any lunatics out there who can't read think I totally support the Patriot Act....I will say again that there needs to be overview and oversight...Not total reliance the..."We are looking out for the best interests of a nation." Attitude.
Now before you throw historical names out there please check all of your facts and start taking some of that responsibilty that you say the US should take.
Now I know that there are a lot of morons out there who will say that this is a good step in the right direction and that maybe we shall see the Patriot Act disappear. I call these people morons. Why? Simple; we need the Patriot Act, I do agree that the Patriot Act needs some fine tuning however the Act as a whole is not only needed but also a long time in coming. This being said however I also think that handing too much power to Law Enforcement without oversight is a bad idea....Does the name Hoover mean anything??
On the other side of this does anyone remember the events of 9/11 or do people just live in a hole in the ground.
